BACATOLOGY: NCAA ANALYSIS 3/7......NEW UPDATE 3/12 1PM PAGE 37

For Michigan to get in will be one of historically worst winning percentages. NET isn’t overcoming it. If they get in, it’s a play in game despite BAC’s protests. I can see a Football game. Michigan v Florida, Michigan v Oklahoma if CBS and NCAA want ratings.
Wasn't Florida losing good for us? If Uva loses same?
The NET is broken I'm sorry. One bad loss trumps a 6 to 1 advantage in great wins? Its pure and absolute nonsense.

A lot depends on tomorrow. If VaTech, TAMU, Indiana, and Oklahoma lose tomorrow then no harm no foul. But the window is open is the point.
Creighton jumped us with a win over Marquette. He has us ahead of ND and Michigan.
If we win tomorrow, especially with Iowa looking like the Harlem Globe Trotters we are in comfortably imho. Hopefully the refs let us play and we can win ugly.
UCLA up 12 nearing halftime. Still got USC-Washington to come but that's looking better than it was earlier.
Almost everyone that won today needs to win again tomorrow. Using Lunardi as a baseline, only Indiana went from OUT to IN today (and the team they leapt, SMU, plays tomorrow while Indiana plays Illinois so that can easily flip back)
Looking at his newest update, he probably flips us to last 4 in if we lose tomorrow. Palm meanwhile has both Indiana and Michigan out and RU last in, if RU loses he flips one back in and puts us out. Of course its meaningless because all the bracketologists due a deep scrub the last day and make alot of changes
and I will add a SMU loss and or VCU would be the cherry on top of everything
Agreed... Definitely feels like there is a lot of overreaction to some of these individual results. Need to take a breathe and analyze the resumes in their entirety once the dust settles.
Let's say we lose tomorrow, SMU beats Tulsa but then loses to Memphis. There's no way in hell they should jump us.
never know, they beat them 2x, but first win was just by 5. SMU is pretty similar resume and win wise to Wyoming, ND, Wake, Va Tech....but strangely all of the guys who have them in the field now seemingly ignore that they have a quad 4 loss to Loyola Marymount not sure why and they also have a Q3 loss to Missouri
reality says you are right yet its all about that pesky net, not really worried about the Lafayette loss actually, its just one loss and other schools have bad losses.....
thing could go either way...we are freaking out over nothing and RU is actually well thought of because its 8-5 vs the field, and RU ends up a 10 seed or the top 11 and the commish says that they discussed Rutgers and they were safely placed in the field based on who they beat
or the NET is used as the excuse to keep RU out as the commish says Rutgers was highly debated but at the end of the day we were troubled by their metrics..blah blah blah

It’s amazing watching other games nobody in foul trouble….except for Indy in 1st half.
But Marquette should fall below us, like Xavier really shouldn’t be in. Total collapse.
Virginia has 13 points at halftime. That alone should disqualify them.
UNC leads 33-13.
UNC leads 33-13.
No its not about NET, but schedule strength..
Michigan played by far the toughest schedule of anyone close to the bubble.
I’ve followed this closely for years and the one message which has always stuck is the committee rewards teams that schedule tough and punishes teams that don’t.
I think UM will make it because if they don’t, the message is W-L matters (UM has plenty of Q1 wins), which means schedule cream puffs.
I will be very surprised if UM isn’t in.
The better question is what is the history of teams that finished three games over .500 with a top five SOS that didn’t get in?
Again, I’ll point this out. Michigan would have finished four games over if the Fort Wayne game wasn’t canceled.
I have a hard time the committee ultimately punishes UM because it didn’t reschedule the Fort Wayne game (heck if it matters so much to be four games over, why doesn’t UM just play a buy game on short notice over the weekend?. Someone would take the check).
Dayton at best.
What’s the message if they make it? They beat four teams Q2 or better.
My guess is they get Dayton
There's actually a rule against scheduling a game after a conference tournament. BYU looked into that option after their tournament.
Rhode Island gagged it away against Richmond which is good because the Spiders are better and they'll advance to face VCU (also a rivalry game). URI led by 14 at one point. Now down 4 and Richmond ball with about a minute left.
Last note: Myles is 5-5 at the line for UCLA today. Upset of March.
14 losses...only 4 schools in history have got in being less than 4 games above 500 do not count the covid year
